ok, i'm no 800 CR , or 2200+ guy. I'm the guy thats below all that trying to get up there-- Just putting it out there. First, you need to build up confidence, and NOT time yourself. I hope you've taken practice tests without limited timing, etc BEFORE you start taking tests timed. (xiggi's method). I know its easy, simple, banal, trite, "hackeneyed" but RELAX. Chill. Stop trying so damn hard. (i need to follow my own advice, b/c the thing that kills me is that i overthink things, which is a result of trying too hard) And another thing, don't think of it as such a big thing (i know, also hard to do, b/c this is one of THE college key, etc) screw that, your practicing. SO, in conclusion do this, and tell me on here or PM me of how you do on you rnext section.

- Relax, stop trying so hard
- take the pressure off of yourself, its practice; build confidence first
- stop timing yourself, if you're not ready
- read the first thread of the SAT section on CC (xiggi's prep advice)
